The external cast needs to be included? In both the MIAW and in the stage
movie? I assume I just use the (in somewhat pseudo):
castlib(whatCast).fileName = moviePath & "myfolder:mycast.cst"

I'm in the middle of developing a project where I set up the stage first by
importing and creating cast members in the internal cast and then putting
them on stage by assigning them to sprites; these cast members are used for
navigational purposes and does not take a lot of memory.
The actual content consists of a lot of swf-files (and some with quicktime
movies) that are pretty heavy (that's one of the reasons why I want to use
several external casts).
What I have done is crate an empty cast to which I the assign another one
using fileName (see part of code below)... So I have createted the casts and
linked them to my main movie (setting up searchPaths and such for the main
movie to know about).This all works fine during authoring; but my problem
started when I created a projector for testing (just included the main movie
and the xtras I need). The projector runs fine EXCEPT it does not load any
of the members in the external casts. I do not get any error message; it
just does not show the cast members on stage.
Below is part of the code I am using, like I said... authoring-mode is
excellent but when creating projector it does not work...
--
castLib("Content").fileName = the moviePath & "Assets:Content.cst"
repeat with i = 1 to the number of members of castLib("Content")
setMemberPropsOfMe = member(i, "Content").name
setExternalFlaMemberProps(setMemberPropsOfMe)
end repeat
